Lathi Pelicans
The expected news of Jesse Ylönen’s travels came this week, as the team he has been on loan to, the Lahti Pelicans, tweeted out that he was North America bound.
Laaksonen ja Ylönen kutsuttiin Pohjois-Amerikkaan.
Kiitos ja tsemppiä herrat rapakon taakse.
While Ylönen’s time in Liiga hasn’t been that productive, ha has been secure defensively. He still finished his stint with the team ranking 10th in scoring as the Pelicans had relied upon Ryan Lasch as a scoring winger on the line above Ylönen’s.
After a first season in Liiga, a season in which the Pelicans finished third in the standings, Ylönen’s production fell as the team plummeted to the bottom of the table. While his production fell, his relative impact on the team actually increased, something I discussed in an article earlier.
